If I remember correctly, he used some automation tools to make it faster to report shitposts.
Ratimov was also very active with reports back than, not sure if he also used any tools or not, but he made reports mostly in his local board.
Frankly I don't know why I bother doing the reports, other than it gives me a personal satisfaction to see absolutely shitty posts get deleted. Bonus satisfaction points if they would have counted toward that week's sig campaign payment.
Same here, but I think it makes forum just a little bit easier to use for me, at least for boards that I usually visit.
I certainly wouldn't spend hours reporting posts every day just so that I could have reporters badge, but it would be cool if theymos could release fresh list of top reporters.
